There are many different types of antique candlesticks found in the LINDA HORN
inventory
and in many different materials including brass, silver, bronze and giltwood.
The collection
features a large selection of 19th Century English brass candlesticks.
Some of these
are referred to as English bell weight brass candlesticks to indicate
that they are made with
the heavier bell metal brass that is an alloy of four parts
copper to one part tin, which was
used mainly for bells but could sometimes be found
in decorative objects. But the
collection of 19th Century antique candlesticks also
extends to French bronze candlesticks,
silver over bronze altar candlesticks, large
English turned wood candlesticks,
carved giltwood candlesticks, and English brass
barley twist candlesticks. There are
several interesting European silver plated
candlestick lamps with round or octagonal bases.
